Week 3 Learning Prayer By Example

How can we go deeper in our life of prayer? One of the best ways is learning by examples given to us by God Himself in His Word. In Week 3 of Passionate Prayer we had the privilege of learning from five great examples - Hannah, Nehemiah, Daniel, Jesus, and Paul. My favorite this week was Jesus. I am profoundly moved at His intentional prayer constantly in every situation. If He prayed, I need to pray - always, not sometimes. I am learning through this journey of Passionate Prayer the priority of prayer. I need to pray first, not last (1 Timothy 2:1). We see the habit and priority of prayer again and again in the Bible. Hannah prayed in her deep distress. Nehemiah prayed when he received discernment from God about a situation. Daniel boldly prayed when faced with opposition. Jesus ALWAYS prayed. Paul prayed for others and prayed at all times. Again and again, I see the priority of prayer in their lives. Lord, make us passionate about prayer and make prayer the priority of our lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
